Question
What's the dress code for your wedding?
Answer
The dress code is formal. Please no jeans or shorts. Houston summers are often hot and humid. Out of respect for the sanctity of the church during the ceremony, we ask that all guests wear modest attire, making sure to cover shoulders and knees.

Our wedding colors are burgundy red, green, and gold; but we welcome guests to wear whatever they are most comfortable in.
Question
What is the weather and climate like in the area?
Answer
Houston in late summer is often quite hot with temperatures most likely in the high 90s or low 100s. Humidity is also high at that time of year, typically around 80% or more. We recommend wearing attire that is lightweight but also easy to layer as AC indoors can be cold.
